Hello!

I’m Anita Gilbert, the founder of Speakeasy Voice & Accent Coaching.

I trained at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts London (ALRA), on their 3 year Professional Actor’s course and also hold an MA(Dist) from The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in Professional Voice Practice.

I worked professionally in TV, Film, Radio & Theatre, before moving into voice and accent coaching full time.

The main focus of my work is helping clients worldwide, to develop their voices for stage and screen; including approaching text, getting them audition ready, helping them explore character once in a role or nailing that tricky accent. 

I am a Senior Lecturer in Voice at Leeds Conservatoire and run masterclasses for a variety of actor training Universities and Colleges.

Coaching Credits include

  • Extra Time, The Little Mermaid, Treasure Island, One Man Two Guvnors, What Fatima Did, Abi (Derby Theatre)

  • Rock, Paper, Scissors (Sheffield Theatres)

  • Bonny Chip (Fox & Cox Productions)
